Aspyr's upcoming release of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles for modern consoles features a surprising new playable character: Jar Jar Binks. This revelation, accompanied by a gameplay trailer showcasing Binks wielding a staff, has generated considerable excitement among fans.
The 2000 original featured iconic characters and locations from Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This remastered version aims to capitalize on nostalgia while adding fresh content. Along with customizable lightsaber colors and cheat code support, a significant expansion of the playable roster is a key feature.
The trailer demonstrates Binks' chaotic combat style, utilizing a large staff instead of a lightsaber, and featuring his signature vocalizations. He'll be available when the game launches on January 23rd, with pre-orders already open.
Beyond Binks, Aspyr has unveiled nine additional playable characters, with more promised. This diverse selection includes:
- Rodian
- Flame Droid
- Gungan Guard
- Destroyer Droid
- Ishi Tib
- Rifle Droid
- Staff Tusken Raider
- Weequay
- Mercenary
This expansion significantly broadens the original game's character selection, encompassing various species and droid types. The inclusion of both Jar Jar Binks and a Gungan Guard highlights the developers' commitment to comprehensive representation from the Episode I universe.
With the release date fast approaching, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing these new additions to Jedi Power Battles. Aspyr's past work remastering classic Star Wars titles, such as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, offers hope for a successful and faithful update to this beloved game.
